A tub-to-shower conversion means pulling out an old bathtub and replacing it with a curbless or low-curb walk-in shower, usually with a new pan or poured base, waterproofed walls, a glass panel or door, and grab bars or a bench if the homeowner wants them. It's one of the most requested bathroom jobs in Stamford, both for older colonials where a second-floor tub sits unused and for homeowners planning to stay in place as they age. We've listed 7 businesses in Stamford that handle this work, ranging from one-day acrylic liner installs to full tile-and-waterproofing rebuilds.
Before hiring, ask how the contractor handles waterproofing (a proper shower needs a sloped mortar bed or foam pan and a membrane, not just caulk), whether they pull permits for plumbing or structural changes, and how they price the conversion: flat rate versus per square foot, and what's included in that number. Get a written timeline, since a tile shower with a custom base takes longer than a one-day acrylic system.
Our scoring weighs how each business handles licensing, insurance, warranty terms, and verified customer feedback, so you can compare them on more than star ratings alone.
